Shiva

Just wanted to share my 36 X 48 Acrylic painting Shiva. I finished it several months ago but was waiting for the right time and I feel like this is it. The painting represents Shiva bringing the holy river Ganges to Earth. I’ve also included ‘process’ pictures for those of you wanting to see the steps involved. I honestly started this painting over four times, unable to achieve my minds vision with the limitations of the medium and technique. Also, since it’s a figment of my imagination (with the help of some great anatomical references) a lot of the difficulty was committing to a specific method and forgoing the rest. I hope you enjoy it. It’s truly a piece of my heart.  ❤ Shilpa
